Reader's Theatre and Dinner

Join us for a dramatic reading of first person accounts from the Great Flood. Dr. Dave Ward, retired Associate Professor of Literature at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, has created a script that will follow the tragedy as it engulfs the city street by street on May 31, 1889.

The cast includes Nicole Bosley, Jayme Brooks, Dave Casker, Mark Rauch, Kevin Rozich, Jacob St. Clair and Lauren Wahl.   

Dinner will be prepared by "A Flair of Country" (catering by Corey Crocco).  The evening's menu includes marinated chicken and barbecued pork tenderloin, as well as Caesar and Greek tortellini salad, a grilled vegetable medley, roasted red skin potatoes and assorted cookies and cupcakes.  Beverages will include iced tea and coffee. A cash bar will also be available.

Tables of 8 are available for sponsorship/purchase.  In addition to 8 reserved dinner seats, a table purchase includes a complimentary commemorative souvenir at each place setting; reserved seating for 8 under the Polacek Pavilion for the Reader's Theatre; recognition during the dinnertime slide presentation and recognition in the printed program.
